Beauty Naomie Harris hit up the Collateral Beauty New York City Premiere donned in a Rosie Assoulin Spring 2017 Floral Print Strapless Dress:
She finished her ensemble with complimentary yellow pumps. Her standout sleeveless dress features a bold floral print and a decolletage-baring neckline.
She doesn’t disappoint. Hot!

Happy Monday!
Last night, we had our latest Cocktails with Claire event, guest hosted by Ty Hunter and sponsored by Toyota! Guests convened at the Mezzanine at 55 Broadway to listen to beats by Olivia Dope, eat treats by Chef Jeff, sip Ciroc cocktails, and listen to live music by Gift3d.
As the end of the year draws nigh, we decided to switch things up and acknowledge Bombshells who made serious strides in 2016! So we debuted our first awards ceremony, and honored Teyana Taylor as Breakout Bombshell of the Year, singer Justine Skye as our Beauty Bombshell of the Year, and Tracy Reese as our Bombshell Designer of the Year.
It was magical. The love in the room was palpable.
After toasting to 10 years, 1 million followers, and my new book (yassss!)…
And giving away VIP raffles for cool sculpting by Dr. Michelle Henry, a bag from French Connection, and a trip to Trinidad & Tobago for TNT Fashion Weekend…
Attendees shopped it up with vendors Pink Pebbles Shop, Black Tag Apparel, Tnemnroda, J Loren, E Honey, Haus of Swag, Shop Nu, What Beaches, Kymms Creations, and Shades of Shea. I popped by their booths as well to show love.
Fashion Bomb readers came to slay of course in their holiday ‘fits. Take a look at a few standouts:
WORK!
For the festivities, I tapped designer Marq by Marquette to fashion a custom jumpsuit with a cape (he also designed the dress I wore for my book cover). My co-host Ty offset the red with a black and white star printed suit from Oppo Suits.
We make a good team, don’t we?
Of course we posed with our honorees and celeb guests including Teyana Taylor, Justine Skye and Draya Michele.
Then snapped tons of pics and selfies with Bombers and Bombshells.
After the main event, our esteemed vendors and select readers and VIPS sat down for dinner.
Wow, what a fun night!
Last night was so exhilerating, I can’t even think straight! Now that the book has launched, I’m going to RELAX before gearing up again for my book tour next year. Houston is already on the map, but who’s got next? Can’t wait to meet all you fly Bombers and Bombshells out there!
Indulge in even more pix in the gallery above (scroll alll the way to the top!). If you were able to stop by, I hope you had fun!
Smootches!

The 22nd Annual Critics’ Choice Awards went down tonight with our favorite actors and actresses in attendance. Embellishment, tulle, embroidery, and unexpected silhouettes were all on the style agenda.
Let’s get into the night’s looks!
Kerry Washington looked every bit the star, in an Elie Saab LBD covered in the motif. Hot!
What’s an awards show without Zuhair Murad? Tracee Ellis Ross’s dress was unusual for the brand, but stunning nonetheless.
Janelle Monae’s harlequin print Nicci Hou gown was easily one of the night’s boldest and coolest looks.
Viola Davis slipped on a custom seafoam, sequin-embellished stretch-tulle Michael Kors Collection gown.

Hailee Steinfeld made us wish for Spring in a strapless, colorful embroidered Jason Wu gown.
Bella Thorne’s sequin and sheer panel Steven Khalil Couture gown was not for the faint of heart, but she pulled it off effortlessly.
Elie Saab is 3 for 3 tonight! Lily Collins took ice queen to a new level in an embellished lace gown from the brand. She never disappoints!
Another beautiful gown from Brandon Maxwell! Eniko Hart also chose the designer for the evening.
